  • Page 39 BEFORE RUNNING YOUR NEW 8IGHT-T 2.0 OFF-ROAD RACING Truggy for the first time, you should run down the following checklist in order and complete the listed tasks. We’re sure you’re anxious to get out and run your new 8IGHT-T 2.0 now that it’s built, but please note that fine-tuning of the initial setup is an essential part of building a high-performance racing truggy such as your new 8IGHT-T 2.0.

  • Page 40: Setup Guide

    The 8IGHT-T 2.0 now has only two camber locations on the rear tower, however, we have added another inside hole on the rear hub. The stock camber link setup for the 8IGHT-T 2.0 is location #1 on the tower and B in the hub. By using the #2 hole on the tower you will have less roll and improve stability and traction. Using the #1 hole will have more steering. Running “A” in the rear hub will generate more corner rotation entering the turn, but...
  • Page 41 Plastic vs. Aluminum Clutch Shoes: We have found the four aluminum clutch setup to work best on most tracks for the 8IGHT-T 2.0 but if the track is very loose, rough, and doesn’t have jumps that are difficult to get over, two plastic and two aluminum shoes will allow more slip and smoother acceleration. Running four aluminum shoes will have the most punch, but isn’t as good on slick tracks.
  • Page 42 Outdrives and Traction: When your 8IGHT-T 2.0 is new it will have a lot of chassis roll and be a little loose on throttle due to lack of friction in the out drives and crossbones. After about 45-60 minutes of running, the 8IGHT-T 2.0 will gain traction and stability. Once your 8IGHT-T 2.0 is broken in, replacing the out drives and crossbones with new parts will have more corner speed.
